Crumbs, Fancy going to the beach to stare at 10,000 umbrellas. You may never see the sea. Like at the football when it's raining. Umbrellas are the curse of society. Apart from that, this beach, (plage, in French, M. Lincoln), is magnificent. Just needs some Aussie waves. But, "When in Rome". I'm just jealous that you have it and we don't. But not for long !
